A uk car in Germany
 
I have my uk car in germany and like to keep it longer . Does anybody has got experience what to do ? Is it posseble to insure it in Germany for a short while?
Somebody has told me that by law an insurer must cover you third party anywhere in Europe for the duration of the policy"?

Can anybody confirm that?!
:confused:

Insured or not?
 
A German insurance company could insure the vehicle on it's chassis number or VIN, as opposed to the No' plate... l know AXA in France can do this... your 3rd party cover from the UK is not third party in truth, it is the legal minimum (eg; like Road Traffic Act only) and in an accident you may find German law dictates it covers only a preportion of damages - not all. It is relatively easy to re-register your car, why baulk at doing so? You will also find German road users more courteous if you have German plates :-)
